Folding & Sewing - Rounded and Backed Cased Book // Adventures in Bookbinding

This is part one of four on making a rounded and backed cased book. In a cased book the cover and bookblock are made separately and brought together in an operation called casing-in. In this video I will sew the bookblock.

These videos are only possible thanks to the support of Patreons, and if you are able, your support would be greatly appreciated.

The finishing press I use in the video. It's the 350mm between screws version. I think finishing press would be a better description than edge gilding press. But they emphasise this for use with their heated edge gilding roller.

The #DASBookbinding Channel is the perfect starting point for learning #bookbinding. It covers foundation skills, simple projects, technical methods, materials and more advanced bookbinding projects. The videos are presented in a tutorial or lesson fashion, which I hope are easy to follow. The knowledge presented is based on traditional techniques which can be used to create traditional books or as a foundation to quality journalling or creative artists' books. The best way to find what you are looking for is the DAS Bookbinding YouTube Channel guide.
